The Man Who Broke the Moon Michael James Ploof

Captain Jason Eriksson saved the planet. Now he's the most hated man on Earth. After ending the Luna-Terra war by destroying the rogue colony Lunar 1, Captain Jason has retired to the U. S. Virgin Islands intent on self-destruction. If the booze doesn't kill him first, the Colombian drug cartel surely will. But before he has a chance to properly pickle his liver, and before a jealous drug lord has a chance to take him out, the Admiral of Space Fleet recruits Jason for one last mission. Jason's mission: Bring the old crew back together again, fly beyond the boundaries of our solar system to the alien home world, and make first contact. Piece of cake, right? Haunted by the memories of his deceased wife and daughter and plagued by the guilt of killing millions when he nearly destroyed the moon, Jason has nothing to lose. He thinks the mission is a first-class ticket to oblivion, but hey, at least he'll go out in style. When the mission is sabotaged by unknown foes, Jason is propelled into a world of mystery, deception, and a revelation that will leave him second-guessing everything he thought he knew. Contains mature themes.
